Abstract
Question 1: In the ASQ Global State of Quality research, 30% of the organizations indicated that quality is governed and managed by a centralized quality group. How should an organization decide the best model for quality management and governance? Are there specific factors (such as size of organization) to consider? Question 2: What are the estimated costs of implementing ISO 9001? We are an organization with five divisions: contract manufacturing, structural fabrication, steel service center, rebar and metal castings. We employ about 200 people and operate from two facilities. Our metal casting division is a separate location from our other operations. I am trying to generate return on investment and an implementation time frame.
